Knowing that exclusivity and uniqueness of a limited stock item always attach a premium to its value. And that Beanie Babies with errors can be much more valuable than ones with perfectly printed tags. Without an Existing Identical listing to compare it to: According to Microsoft's A.I. Ty Beanie Baby “Ears” with dual tush tags—especially U.S. and Canadian versions—are considered highly valuable due to a combination of rarity, production quirks, and collector appeal. Here's a breakdown of what makes them so sought-after: ? Key Factors Driving Value ?? Dual Tush Tags (U.S. + Canadian) These versions feature both U.S. and Canadian tush tags, often written in English and French. Dual tagging was rare and typically tied to transitional production runs or regional labeling requirements. The bilingual Canadian tag adds a layer of scarcity and international appeal. ? Tag Errors Oddities “Ears” with dual tush tags often include tag errors like misprints, mismatched dates, or stitching anomalies. Examples include: PVC pellets listed when PE was used Birthdate inconsistencies between swing and tush tags Misspellings or formatting quirks ? Limited Production Retirement “Ears” was introduced in 1996 and retired by 1998, giving it a short production window. Some dual-tagged versions were part of promotional runs (e.g., Oakland A’s giveaway), adding to their exclusivity. ? Condition Provenance Mint condition with both tags intact (especially 3rd gen swing tag + 2nd gen tush tag) boosts value. Provenance matters—handmade in Indonesia or with Canadian origin can signal a rarer batch. ? Market Premium Dual-tagged “Ears” can fetch 10–50% more than single-tagged counterparts depending on condition and error types. Some listings for Ty Ears with dual tush tags have been priced as high as $5,000! If you have one, you might be holding onto a valuable piece of collectible history.
